Dried Fruit Not in Demand Poor
Prospects In the East,
There has been a rx nbination of
events against the interest of the fruit
growers on this Coast, mostly entirely
beyond their control. The immense
crop East and consequent low prices lust
teason demoralized the market anil
everyone who had anything to do with
fruits. Nearly all our local canneries
lost money. The driers were still more
untortunate wnue very lew snippers oi
fresh fruit made any money. The out
look for disposing of the joining crop at
anything like former or paying priens is
not flattering.
Nothing but a failure of the Eastern,
fruit crop will give us any telief. Even
with that, prices for Banning and drying
.;ll K nl n I.. nwanl u (Woof
will be low. .There i at present a great
glut in canned and dried fruits and the
owners of canneries and driers will be
slow to talce hold this season.
Fruit prospecis in all the southerly
Eastern states show as little promise as
they did at thU time in 1MM. There is
no iloubt but what in those states both
fruits and early vegetables have been
damaged by cold and storms.
Eeports from every portion of this
Coast uive nrosvjects of a fruit crop con
siderably above the averag. This, with
the immense number of young trees
bearing the first crop, will give a vast
amount of fruit. What are we' going to
do with it 1 No poor fruit should be al
lowed to mature where there is a possi
bility with extra thinning and cultiva
tion to grow into extras. First, second
and third class fruit will go begging
this season with no takers. Therefore,
none such should he growi. It will be
founttTery much raoreproutnule to have
. , . r.i
a few peaches to sell two and a halt to
three inches in diameter that. can be sold
at 1 cents a pound than to have tons for
which you can get nothing. Hitherto
tlie smaller peaches were dried and
something obtained for them. Who
would have the courage to dry peaches
at present prices of 2 to 5 cents a pound
for poor to very best.
Yet ii may pay to dry. Dried fruit
can he held over awl the drier will prob
ably keep it. The indications are that
our dried fruits, especially the peach and
apricot, have been ruined in the market
from being blenched with sulphur. Peo-
pie will buy our beautiful, clean, bright
dried peaches and apricots at a great timated cost, however, of all improve
price once. They think the fruit is as ments in any county in any one year shall
nice to eat as it is to look at. They cook not exceed one-half of 1 per cent, of the
and use them and hud they ure not
good, not appetizing, but carry a strong,
metallic acid taste, so strong that one
soon loses taste for and therefore has uo
manner of use for any more of them.
The dried peach and apricot trade of this
Coast has been injure l by this pernic
ious practice and it will take years to
rebuild it.
The tacts are that it would be impos
sible for this Coast to overstock the
market for drie l fruits even at double
the prices they are now selling at if sul
phur had uever been used to bleach
them. Before the days of sulphuring
California and Utah dried peaches, im
peded, retailed readily in the East at iiO
to 40 cents a pound and the demand was
much greater than the supply. As time
wore on they run up against the beauti
ful sulphured fruit. They bought once,
twice and possibly thrice and then quit.
uy r oiuipiy ueunusc ii. b.- not, guuu. i
Ho cooking, nor sweetening nor spicing
could make it good. It may be whole
some or it may not. That point may be
left out entirely. As an article for do
mestic consumption it is a flat failure.
Simply because it is not palatable and
the nicer it looks i hut made from fruit
while still unripe and hard, then thor
oughly sulphured the poorer it is.
Green, sour peaches and apricotB, still
further soured withsnlphurous acid and
this changing eventually to snlphuric
acid is not likely to open up a very great
market for dried fruits.

NEW JERSEY'S ROAD LAW,
It Baa Many Point Worth ConAlrirratlon
by Other States.
A new road law has recently gone into
effect in New Jersey. It has some faults,
but it has many merits, and may well be
studied by the people and legislators of
other Btates. Its salient points are:
Whenever the board of chosen free -
holders of any county in this state shall
by resolution have declared their inten
tion to cause any particular road or sec
tion thereof within such county to be
improved under the provisions of this
act. such board shall cau) nil necessary
surveys U be made and specifications to
be prepared. The speciiioatious shall
require the construction of a macadam
ized road or a telford or other stone
road that will nt an seasons or me year
. . .... . . at .1
.
be firm, smooth and convenient for
travel; shall be so prepared as to call for
bids from which an approximate esti
mate of the cost can be ascertained, and
shall state the amount of security that
will be required of the bidder. After
said specifications shall have been pre
pared they shall be submitted to the
board of chosen freeholders, and if such
board shall approve of them thev shall
men oe snomitroa to tbe president of the
state board of agriculture, and if be
shall' approve them it shall then be tbe
duty of the director of the board of
chosen freeholders to advertise them tu
at least two daily newspapers, printed
and circulated in the county, fop the
period of two weeks. 1 , .. , , ; s ,,
The estimated amount of contracts
awarded In any one year by any board
of chosen freeholders shall not exceed
one-half of 1 per cent, of the ratables
of the county as reported to tbe state
comptroller for the . preceding year.
After a copy of the contract shall be
filed with the president of the state
board of agriculture the governor shall,
as soon as practicable, appoint a super
visor of the construction of the work
. oha rai.
for hig .. undJr this ve do,
larB per day, to be paid out of the coun
ty treasury. He shall supervise all work
done under the contract, shall give his
whole time thereto, shall require the
provisions of the contract to be strictly
,,,.,, tn hv tu. rtrt- a
f. ,...tn,,.t n-i,lo - ,,rtii
ment8 dnriug the progress of the work,
... f V . . 1
shall, as each payment becouies due and
before payments shall be made, present
to the board his certificate, and also tbe
certificate of the surveyor or engineer, if
any there be. stating as near as may be
the total amount of work done, and that
such work has been done in all respects
as required by the contract. When the
work is completed the supervisor is to
prepare a detailed statement m duph
cate and file it with the ot free.
holders and with the president of the
state board of agriculture.
One-third of the cost of all roads con
structed under this act shall be paid for
out of the state treasury; provided that
the sum shall not exceed in any year the
sum of $7.r),0U0; if one-third of said cost
shall exceed that n mount, it shall be ap
portioned by the governor and the presi
dent of the state board of agriculture
among the counties of the state in pro
portion to the cost of roadB constructed
for 8Ucn year, according to the state-
ments of costs filed in the office of the
president of the state board of agricul-
ture. ........
Whenever there shall be presented to
the board of chosen freeholders of any
county a petition signed by the owners
of at least two-thirds of the land and real
estate fronting on any public road not
being less than one mile in length asking
for the improvement of that road, aud
setting forth that they are willing that
the benefits shall be assessed to them to
an amount not exceeding 10 . per cent, of
the entire cost of tho improvements, it
shall be the duty of the board to cause
such improvements to be made. The es-
